Qtp interview questions

Qtp:

1. What are the Features & Benefits of Quick Test Pro (QTP)..? Operates stand-alone, integrates into Mercury Business Process Testing and Mercury Quality Center. Introduces next-generation “zero-configuration” Keyword Driven testing technology in Quick Test Professional 8.0 — allowing for fast test creation, easier to use. 2. Where can I get Quick Test Pro (QTP) document. In help menu select Printer-Friendly Document. Then choose Quick Test User’s guide hyperlink to open PDF file with almost 1000 pages that gives detailed information of QTP with advanced features. 3. How to handle the exceptions using recovery scenario manager in QTP? There are 4 trigger events during which a recovery scenario should be activated. They are A pop up window appears in an opened application during the test run. A property of an object changes its state or value. A step in the test does 4. What is the use of Text output value in Qtp? Output values enable to view the values that the application talks during run time. When parameterized, the values change for each test iteration. Thus by creating output values, we can capture the values that

5. How to use the Object spy in QTP 8.2 versions? Follow Tools->Object Spy / Select Object Spy button from Object Repository. 6. What are the file extensions in QTP?Test Script - “.mts”, Per-Action OR File – “.mtr”, Shared OR File -“.tsr”, Batch Test File- “.mtb”, Data Table File – “.xls”, Parameters File – “.prm” 7. Explain the concept of object repository & how QTP recognizes objects? Object Repository stores the description of each test object that are captured from object of AUT during recording. It captures the mandatory properties of each object depends on type of object. With this description QTP recognize the same object to perform specified event during test run. 8. What are the properties you would use for identifying a browser & page when using descriptive programming? We use “title” property to identify browser and web page. 9. What are the different scripting languages you could use when working with QTP? VBScript, Java Script and Windows Script Host(WSH) 10. Explain the keyword “CreateObject” with an example. Creates and returns a reference to an Automation object. Example: ES = CreateObject ("Excel.Sheet")

11. Explain in brief about the QTP Automation Object Model (AOM). Quick Test automate the testing of your applications, we can use the QTP Automation Object Model to automate your Quick Test operations. Using the objects, methods, and properties exposed by QuickTest's AOM, we can write programs that configure Quick Test options and run tests instead of performing these operations manually using the Quick Test interface.

Automation programs are especially useful for performing the same tasks multiple times or on multiple tests or components, or quickly configuring Quick Test according to your needs for a particular environment or application.

12. How to handle dynamic objects in QTP? Using “GetROProperty” we will handle the runtime objects.

13. What is a Run-Time Data Table? Where can I find and view this table?

During the run session, Quick Test creates a run-time Data Table—a live version of the Data Table associated with your test or component. When the run session ends, the run-time Data Table closes, and the Data Table pane again displays the stored design-time Data Table. Data entered in the run-time Data Table during the run session is not saved with the test or component. The final data from the run-time Data Table is displayed in the Run-Time Data Table in the Test Results window

14. How does Parameterization and Data-Driving relate to each other in QTP?Using parameterization feature we can enhance test or component by parameterize the values that it uses. A Parameter is variable that is assigned a value from the external data source. There are 4 types of parameters like Test/Action or Component, Data Table parameter, Random Number and Environment Parameter. Data Driving enables to parameterize several property values for test objects, checkpoints. 15. What is the difference between Call to Existing Action and Copy of an Action? When we insert Call to Existing Action, they are read only in the calling test. It can only be modified in the original test. Where as come to Copy of Action, you can make changes to the copied action. Changes will not effect the original action where it created. 16. Discuss QTP Environment. Quick Test Pro environment uses the graphical interface and Active Screen technologies. A testing process for creating test scripts, relating manual test requirements to automated verification features - Data driving to use several sets of data using parameters. 17. Explain the concept of how QTP identifies object. During recording QTP looks at the object and stores it as test object. For each test object QTP learns a set of default properties called mandatory properties and look at the rest of the objects to check whether this properties are enough to uniquely identify the same object during test run. 18. Differentiate the two Object Repository Types of QTP. In QTP there are 2 object repositories, Shared Object Repository and Per Action Mode. Default mode is Per-Action. In Shared, we use only one OR that is common to all actions and can share by other testers. It's like calling external libraries. We will use per action OR for a each action exclusively. 19. What the differences are and best practical application of each. Per Action: For Each Action, one Object Repository is created. Shared: Single Object Repository will be used for all actions.

20. Disadvantages of Shared Object Repository?It cannot store objects when it reaches maximum Size (2MB). We cannot do changes to an object by tester at the same time. 21. Can you do more than just capture and playback? Yes, I can do more than capture/playback. Descriptive Programming is the answer to this question. We can write scripts without recording and it would still work fine. 22. What is the purpose of Ordinal Identifier?

This assigns object a numerical value that indicates its order relative to other objects that have the same values for all properties. This ordered value enables Quick Test to create a unique description when the mandatory and assistive properties are not sufficient to do so

23. How to do the scripting. Is there any inbuilt function in QTP? What the difference between them? How to handle script issues? Yes, there's an in-built functionality called "Step Generator" in Insert->Step->Step Generator -F7, which will generate the scripts as u enter the appropriate steps. 24. What is the difference between Check Point and Output Value? An output value is a value retrieved during the run session and entered into runtime table or data table subsequently it can be used as input value in your test. Checkpoint ensures the functionality of an object by verifying the state of an object during the runtime. 25. If we use batch testing the result shown for last action only. In that how can we get result for every action? We can click on the icon in the tree view to view the result of every action. The results for each test are stored in their default location. 26. How the exception handling can be done using QTP Recovery scenario manager provides a wizard that guides you through the defining recovery scenario. Recovery scenario has four steps 1. Triggered Events 2. Recovery steps 3. Post Recovery 4.Name and Finish 27. How do you test Siebel application using QTP? In SWE section we need to add AutomationEnable = TRUE and at the same time you need to use SWECmd= AutoOn in the URL 28. How many types of Actions are there in QTP? QTP structured by actions. Actions are sub procedures which perform certain events on AUT. There are 2 types of actions. Regular actions (non reusable actions) and reusable actions. Regular actions are used only in the script where the action exists. 29. How do you data drive an external spreadsheet? Press mouse right click by placing the cursor Data Table to select Import ->From File. This imports a tabbed text file or a single sheet from an existing Microsoft Excel file into the Data Table. The sheet you import replaces all data in the current Data Table. 30. I want to open a Notepad window without recording a test and I do not want to use SystemUtil.Run command as well how do I do this? We can use WSH (Window Script Host) to create COM object. Use run method to invoke an application in specified window style. Check out with the followingDim wsh Set wsh = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")wsh. run "notepad.exe" 31. How many types of recording modes in QTP? Describe each type with an example where we use them? There are 3 types of recording modes in QTP, Context Sensitive (normal), Analog Recording mode and Low Level Recording mode. Context Sensitive records the objects in the application and operations performed on them. Analog records all mouse exact mouse and keyboard actions. Low level enables to record on any object

32. What if storage limit of shared object repository exceeds its limit (2 MB). How this kind of situation can be handled? One can use advanced object repository Editor from Sirus SQA

33. How to handle java tree in QTP First of all we need to have a java add-in to handle a java tree. In tools option we have the "object identification" drop down list, there we have the java option to recognize the objects. We select the tree option and add the properties 34. How to fetch test data from Database by using QTP? First we have to create an object to “ADODB.Connection”. Then use methods to open connection with data base, execute query and to store the result set. Set con=CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection") 35. How can u write a script without using OR in QTP? We need to design Descriptive Programming where OR is not required. The information about the object will be added into the test script in place of Logical Name.

1. How will you automate a window which while spying is not returning any property value ??Answer 1: In QTP point of view we automation applications where there is proper addin.There are few cases where we can use win32 API and shell programming to acheive.

EX use win32 query to get the handle or processid of the app and use some api to act on it...this will be a work around not a solution.

2. How do you find the color and font of all the links on the page???

Answer 2: Ans: use DHTML properties ....uses object.attributes...u will get all DHTML properties of that particular element in a collection.

3. what are the disadvantages of smart identification.??

Answer 3: Ans. there are many out of which is time consuming it eats lot of time and some times it yields wrong results also in case of dynamic environment.

4.what are the disadvantages of recovery scenario??

Answer 4: I think Space and time may be the constraints, because i never used it. it is pretty waste of time to use it.

5.How can you execute javascript on qtp??

Answer 5: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\Configuration_UI\ScriptMgr

Create a new String value with name AltProgID and value "Mercury.JSScriptMgr" and change the value of "Create" to 1

Create a new child key inside the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\Configuration_UI\ScriptConstants{0ECD5785-BE7D-11d4-8EAF-11135659EC56}

Repeat the same steps for the below keyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\Configuration

OpenC:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\bin\QTEditor.iniAdd the below parameter to [General options]AllowJavaScript = 1DisableVBScript = 1

6.What are the basic prerequisites required in automating an infragistics controls based application?

7.Can i record a web based application on Mozilla??

Answer 7: U can record but not as a web application but a standard windows application

ex:Window("Mozilla Firefox").WinObject("MozillaWindowClass").Type "naveen"

8.What is the difference between Repository Parameter and Repositories Collection ??

Answer 8: Repository parameters enable you to specify that certain property values should be parameterized, but leave the actual parameterization to be defined in each test that is associated with the object repository that contains the parameterized test object property values.Repository parameters are useful when you want to create and run tests on an object that changes dynamically

repositoriescollection is a collection object that enables you to programmatically manage the run-time collection of shared object repository files associated with the current action

7. When working with components, the Data Table is always saved with your component, and cannot be saved in a different location.

8 QuickTest resource files are locked if the file:

is being used by another QuickTest user

has been checked into a Quality Center version control database or some other version control software

has been marked as read-only

Exercise:If u want file created date and time:

Function ShowDateCreated(filespec)

Dim fso, f

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set f = fso.GetFile(filespec)

ShowDateCreated = f.DateCreated

msgbox ShowDateCreated //ans:10/30/2006:2:46:30//

End Function

ShowDateCreated("C:\CAD\SCHEMA.bmp")

Break Point: In order to detect and isolate defects in a test or component, you can use step commands and the

Pause command to control the run session.

You can also do this by setting breakpoints. When the test or component stops at a breakpoint,

you can use the Debug Viewer to check and modify the values of VBScript objects and variables.

Also, if QuickTest displays a run-error message during a run session, you can click the Debug button on the

error message to suspend the test or component and debug it.

Run from Step option: You can run a component from a selected step to the end.

1.: You can run a test from a selected step to the end of the current action, if running from the Expert View,

or to the end of the test, if running from the Keyword View:

2. Using Run from Step: in Expert view ignores any iterations. However, if the action contains nested actions,

QuickTest runs the nested actions for the defined number of iterations.

3. Using Run from Step in keyword view includes all iterations. The first iteration will run from the step

you selected until the end of the test; all other iterations will run from the beginning of the test.

4. If you only want to run one iteration of your test, choose Run one iteration only from the Run tab

in the Test Settings dialog box.

5. If you want to run your test until a specific point within the test , you can insert a breakpoint.

The test will then run from the selected step or action until the breakpoint

6.Note: Make sure that the step you choose is not dependent on previous steps.

7. Results Location tab : specify the location(Folder), in which you want to save the test results.

8.New run results folder—This option displays the default path and folder name in which the test results are saved

9 Temporary run results folder—Saves the test run results in a temporary folder. This option overwrites any

results previously saved in this folder..By default, the results for a QuickTest test are stored in this test folder, and

the results for components are stored in a Quality Center cache folder on your computer.

10. If you are running a test from a Quality Center project, the Project name, Run name, Test set,

and Instance options are displayed instead of the New run results folder option.

TestResult Window:

1. The Test Results window contains a description of the steps performed during the run session.

2. For a component, or for a test that does not contain Data Table parameters, the Test Results window shows a single test iteration.

3. If the test contains Data Table parameters, and the test settings are configured to run multiple iterations, the Test Results window displays details for each iteration of the test run.

4. The Test Results window displays all aspects of the run session:

a high-level results overview report (pass/fail status)

the data used in all runs an expandable tree of the steps, specifying exactly where application

failures occurred the exact locations in the test or component where failures occurred application snapshots that highlight any discrepancies, for each

stage of the test or component detailed explanations of each step and checkpoint pass or failure, at

each stage of the test or component

5.The Test Results window contains the following key elements:

Test results title bar—Displays the name of the test or component. Menu bar— Displays menus of available commands. Test results toolbar—Contains buttons for viewing test results (choose View > Test

Results Toolbar to display the toolbar). For more information, see Test Results Toolbar. Test results tree— Contains a graphic representation of the test results in the test

results tree. For more information, see Test Results Tree. Test results details—Contains details of the selected step. For more information, see Test

Results Details. Status bar— Displays the status of the currently selected command (choose View

> Status Bar to view the status bar).

Test Results Tree:

Right symbol:indicates a step that succeeded. X: indicates a step that failed. Note that this causes all parent steps (up to the

root action or test) to fail as well. !: indicates a warning, meaning that the step did not succeed, but it did not

cause the action or test to fail. ! X: indicates a step that failed unexpectedly, such as when an object is not

found for a checkpoint i: indicates an optional step that failed and therefore was ignored. Note that

this does not cause the test to fail. Smart Identification Symbol: indicates that the Smart Identification

mechanism successfully found the object. Recovery symbol: indicates that a recovery scenario was activated Hand icon: indicates that the run session was stopped before it ended

Reporter.Filter:

This statement used in expert view ,it can be used to save only steps with Failed or Warning status.

Reporter.Filter statement determines which steps are saved in the test

To retrieve the mode setting: CurrentMode = Reporter.Filter

To set the mode: Reporter.Filter = NewMode

Actions vs Functions in QTP 9.0 April 3, 2006

When deciding whether a piece of code should go in a reusable action or a function, we usually favored functions in QTP 8.2. When Mercury introduced QuickTest 9, they made the argument for functions even more compelling with the Multi Document Interface. Now we can open as many function libraries as we want, but we are still limited to one test. So, if you want to edit a reusable action in another test, you have to close your current test, open the second test, make your changes, save and close the second test then reopen your original test.

Passing Data

Actions - can only accept primative data types as parameters (strings, integers, etc)

Functions - can accept arrays, dictionary objects and test objects (i.e. Pages, Frames, WebRadioGroups, etc.)

Resource Usage

Actions - For each action, there’s a folder, three separate vbs files, a local Object Repository, a subfolder containing snapshots, an Excel spreadsheet, and a few seconds of load time.

Functions - There’s the code contained in the Function, and that’s all

API

Actions - You cannot insert calls to Existing Actions through the QTP API, you can only do it through the interface

Functions - You can attach Function Libraries to Test Scripts through the QTP API

Return Values

Actions - Return values are difficult to understand and read in the syntax

Functions - Return values work like they do in other languages (i.e. as lvalues)

* Test Object Model Concept **************************************************

The test object model is a large set of object types or classes that QuickTest uses to represent the objects in your application. Each test object class has a list of properties that can uniquely identify objects of that class and a set of relevant methods that QuickTest can record for it.

ExitRun Statement:

************************

ExitRun(0)

exits the test and returns the value 0.

Input parameter:process.

Step – action properties -parameters then 1.enter parametername like str1:2.select string:3.enter value-ok

In script like this: Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set parameter("str1")

WEB METHODS:1.Sync Method (Page): Waits for the browser to complete the current navigationobject.SyncBrowser("MSN.com").Page("MSN.com").SyncBrowser-total page

Page-below dropdown of httpswebsitebox.

2.Navigate Method: Opens a specified URL in the browserobject.Navigate LocationBrowser("MSN.com").Navigate https://kproxy.com/

3.Dialog method: dialog box window in main window.

4.frame object:An Html frame Frame identification properties:abs_x,: absolute coordinate left abs_y:absolute coordinate top, HTml id: The object's HTML identifier Html tag:objects html tag. Index: to indicate the order in which the object appears in the code relative to other objects Locaton: to indicate where the object appears within the window. Text:text associated with the object. 4.Debug Viewer Pane: The Debug Viewer pane contains three tabs to assist you in debugging your test.

Watch Expressions :The Watch Expressions tab enables you to view the current value of any variable or other VBScript expression.

Variables :The Variables tab enables you to view the current value of all variables that have been recognized up to the last step performed in the run session.

Command :The Command tab enables you to execute a line of script in order to set or modify the current value of a variable
